NAME
       git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS
       git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
		     [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>]
		     [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]


DESCRIPTION
       Displays references available in a remote repository along with the
       associated commit IDs.

OPTIONS
       -h, --heads, -t, --tags
	   Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. These options
	   are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in
	   refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed. Note that git ls-remote -h
	   used without anything else on the command line gives help,
	   consistent with other git subcommands.

       --refs
	   Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like HEAD in the output.

       -q, --quiet
	   Do not print remote URL to stderr.

       --upload-pack=<exec>
	   Specify the full path of git-upload-pack on the remote host. This
	   allows listing references from repositories accessed via SSH and
	   where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the user.

       --exit-code
	   Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
	   repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
	   it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it found
	   any matching refs.

       --get-url
	   Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account
	   any "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See git-config(1)) and
	   exit without talking to the remote.

       --symref
	   In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying ref
	   pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently, upload-pack
	   only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only one shown by
	   ls-remote.

       --sort=<key>
	   Sort based on the key given. Prefix - to sort in descending order
	   of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names
	   are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also
	   be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable. See
	   git-for-each-ref(1) for more sort options, but be aware keys like
	   committerdate that require access to the objects themselves will
	   not work for refs whose objects have not yet been fetched from the
	   remote, and will give a missing object error.

       -o <option>, --server-option=<option>
	   Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using
	   protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF
	   character. When multiple --server-option=<option> are given, they
	   are all sent to the other side in the order listed on the command
	   line.

       <repository>
	   The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be either a
	   URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and REMOTES sections
	   of git-fetch(1)).

       <refs>...
	   When unspecified, all references, after filtering done with --heads
	   and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are specified, only
	   references matching the given patterns are displayed.
